Chapter 0015: The deceived customers
I looked at the middle-aged man in shock.
There is a man who sets up a stall near the urban village. His surname is Wang and he has a disabled leg. Who else could it be other than Wang the Lame?
Could it be that he was the customer that Wang Quezi helped me to trick?
But if he had this ability, how could he be so poor as to eat from me? Moreover, why doesn't he earn the money himself instead of giving it to me for free?
"Mr. Li, I can take you to see Mr. Wang right now. He should not have closed his stall yet. If we are late, I am afraid we will miss him."
The middle-aged man saw that I didn't say anything for a long time and said anxiously.
His words reminded me that the sun was setting and it was getting closer. The talisman could not wait for anyone, so I had to hurry.
I will know whether he is the customer that Wang Quezi helped me to deceive by checking it out.
"Okay, you lead the way."
Of course I knew where Wang Quezi set up his stall, but in order to verify the middle-aged man, I still had to pretend to be ignorant.
"Great, Mr. Li, this way please!"
The middle-aged man respectfully made a gesture of invitation and then led the way.
In less than ten minutes, we found where Wang Quezi was setting up his stall.
Wang Quezi was sitting cross-legged on the roadside, with a piece of cloth of unknown color spread in front of him, on which the words "fortune-telling" could be vaguely seen. He was squinting his eyes and dozing off, unaware of our arrival.
Looking at his unkempt and poor appearance, I have no idea how this middle-aged man thought he was a master.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang." The middle-aged man carefully woke up Wang Quezi, "I found it. I found the person you were talking about! The time and place, the name with the word "wood", not a single cent is wrong!"
"Oh, I'm glad you found it..." Wang Quezi opened his eyes dazedly, his expression calm, "Wood represents life, you will be able to survive this disaster safely, or you will be rewarded for your kindness... Huh?"
Halfway through the deception, he finally saw me next to the middle-aged man.
"you……"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, the person I met was him! However, he thought I was a liar, so I brought him to see you. Please help me explain."
"Is that him you met?"
Wang Quezi's expression also became quite incredible.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely right! This concerns my life, how can I dare to be careless! Just as you said, it is three quarters past five in the morning, at the southeast intersection, and my destiny is wood, not a minute off!" the middle-aged man affirmed.
Wang Quezi seemed to still not believe it. After he raised his fingers and calculated for a while, the look in his eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at me.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said in a deep voice: "The dead tree has come back to life, it is indeed him!"
I laughed secretly in my heart. I didn't expect that he was so good at pretending.
"Did you hear that, benefactor? I really didn't lie to you! Do you believe me now?" the middle-aged man said to me.
"Okay, for Mr. Wang's sake, I believe you." I nodded pretentiously, "I'll help you, but I have a condition."
"Please tell me. No matter what your request is, as long as I, Han Wenshan, can do it, I will do my best!" The middle-aged man said respectfully with surprise and joy.
“Pay a deposit first, it’s non-refundable.”
"I understand, I understand!" The middle-aged man immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his briefcase, sorted them out, and handed them to me respectfully.
"I'm sorry, I left in a hurry and don't have much cash on me. If it's not enough, I'll find a place to get it right away!"
I took a quick look and it was about 10,000 yuan.
Be generous!
"That's enough. The deposit doesn't need to be too much." I took the money calmly and handed over my business card. "This is my address. Wait there first. I 'll come over after I'm ready."
"Okay, I'll be there right away ! Thank you, Mr. Wang, and thank you, Mr. Li!" The middle-aged man left a business card and left with many thanks.
"Old Wang, I didn't expect you to be so capable! Let's split the money in half!" After the middle-aged man walked away, I counted the banknotes in my hand, divided them in half, and handed half to Wang the Cripple.
"Also, here's one thousand dollars. I'll have to trouble you to make the trip for that set of middle-level talismans. I have to go and help that old man get rid of his misfortune first."
"I never thought that the person who could save him would be you!" Wang Quezi only took the thousand yuan from selling the talisman, snorted coldly, rolled up the rags used in the stall and left.
What does this mean?
I wanted to ask more questions, but Wang Quezi didn't even turn his head. I didn't want to leave Han Wenshan alone for too long, so I had to go back to my shop first.
Han Wenshan stood at the door. Although he still looked anxious, he looked much better than before.
To be honest, he is a very calm person. If most people encountered the same situation as him, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
I opened the door, asked him to sit down, and made him a cup of hot tea.
"Mr. Han, you must be having nightmares recently, right?"
"I didn't say anything, but you could tell?" Han Wenshan's hand holding the water cup shook violently, and then he became happy again, "Mr. Wang's divination is indeed correct. Mr. Li is not an ordinary person. I am really saved!"
"Tell me what you dreamed about first." I have used the art of observing qi to carefully observe him from head to toe, and I have a general idea of his situation.
However, this is the first time I use the art of observing qi to predict things for someone else, so I still need his confirmation.
Han Wenshan took a sip of water, his lifeless eyes revealing great fear: "I have been having nightmares at night for the past two weeks. I didn't think anything of it at first, but I have had the same dream for several days in a row!"
"I don't know where I was in the dream, I just saw a man squatting on the ground digging a hole with his hands, and he made a creepy laugh while digging."
"When I got closer, the man suddenly disappeared, and then someone pushed me hard on the back and I fell into the pit."
"I was so scared, but I couldn't get up!"
Han Wenshan's eyes widened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if just recounting the contents of the nightmare could make him breathless.
"That man was standing outside the pit, looking down at me, laughing weirdly. I looked up and found that he...he looked exactly like me!"
"He kept shouting 'Give me my life, give me my life' and he grabbed dirt with his bloody hands and threw it into the pit, as if he wanted to bury me alive!"
"I struggled desperately and struggled desperately until dawn. When I woke up, I was exhausted all over and my health was getting worse day by day."
I nodded.
The black energy on his body is different from ordinary black energy. It is evil energy. It should be that he has been contaminated by something evil, commonly known as being possessed by evil spirits. Having nightmares is one of the manifestations.
However, there was a trace of golden energy in the black air that protected his lifeline, otherwise he would have died . How could he have survived for two weeks?
"If what I said is correct, you should have been at risk of a car accident these days, but you managed to escape it safely every time, right?"
"Master Li, you are right again! My car has been having problems for no reason lately, and I almost had car accidents several times." Han Wenshan was even more convinced of me.
"Master, what on earth have I encountered?"
I narrowed my eyes, considered it for a while, and then expressed my judgment.
"Someone wants to take your life."
